SUCRAGARD O SYP 200ML

About

Sucragard O Syrup is a dual-action medication formulated to address both the pain and mucosal damage in the upper gastrointestinal tract. It typically combines Sucralfate, a cytoprotective agent, with Oxetacaine, a local anesthetic. Sucralfate works by forming a protective barrier over ulcerated and inflamed areas of the stomach and esophagus. In the acidic environment, it polymerizes into a viscous gel that adheres to the damaged mucosa, shielding it from gastric acid, pepsin, and bile salts, thus promoting healing. Oxetacaine provides rapid symptomatic relief by locally numbing the irritated or painful areas, offering comfort from conditions such as peptic ulcers, gastritis, and reflux esophagitis. This combination therapy effectively manages pain while actively supporting the repair of the gastrointestinal lining, making it a comprehensive solution for various gastric and esophageal disorders.
